This is a typical sex exploitation film from the early 1930s - complete with wild parties, sex out of wedlock, lesbianism, etc. A chorus girl's exposure to the "casting couch" also exposes her to syphilis.

In the early 1940s, the United States government commissioned some of the best filmmakers to create propaganda in support of the war effort.
